#11650: Documentation does not mention that default definitions for Alternative(some, many) can easily blow up -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Documentation | Version: 7.10.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by ekmett): The only reason it doesn't have `Alternative` and `MonadPlus` instances is that I didn't think of them! (Similarly, `MonadZip`) I have absolutely no objection to adding them. If someone concocts a patch to add them to `base`, I'll readily retroactively add them to the `tagged` package, and Ryan can incorporate backports of them into `base-orphans`. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11650#comment:6 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
